Chapter 104: Escape from Death (2/2)



"One coin a pop! So cheap!" Li Qiu's mind immediately became active, but he felt more regretful: "If we could get this from abroad, we would definitely be able to get a lot of foreign exchange. What a pity."

Nowadays, engaging in speculation and profiteering abroad is a serious crime and will result in execution.

Yun Qiao said, "We can't do it now, but we can wait until the market opens up in the future. Black truffles grow on the ground anyway, so they can't escape. If they're there now, there will definitely be more in the future. We just have to be patient, and sooner or later, this day will come."

"It's easy for you to say, but when will that day come?" Li Qiuqiu didn't hold out much hope.

In the more than two years since she came to Beidahuang, she no longer had these unrealistic wishes in her heart.

She just wanted to be free from hunger and cold, and she would be satisfied. If she could give the children meat once a month, it would be even better.

Li Qiuqiu didn't want to continue talking about this sad topic, so he changed the subject: "Black truffles are rare, so let's use them to make black truffle fried rice for lunch. We also happen to have half a Chinese sausage at home, so we can put it in and have a good meal."

Yun Qiao smiled cooperatively: "Okay, it will definitely be delicious."

Ye Yuanzhang also brought Kang Ning and Yuan Qing back. After not seeing each other for a few months, Kang Ning and Yuan Qing happily surrounded Yun Qiao and called her sister. They also shared with her the interesting things they had encountered in the past few months, chattering non-stop.

In the afternoon, Yun Qiao, accompanied by his aunt Li Qiuqiu and his younger brothers and sisters, took a walk around Sanheying and built a snowman in the yard of his home.

She used tree branches as arms, picked up two unburned pieces of black charcoal from the stove as eyes, and replaced her mouth with a red hairband.

From Kang Ning and Yuan Qing, Yun Qiao not only knew about 'Brother Feng' who studied in the commune high school, but also 'Aunt Yuan' who kept several cats in the village, 'Uncle Leopard' who always loved to wear leather, and 'Brother Ergou' in his family who could catch rabbits and pheasants.

All in all, Kang Ning and Yuan Qing enjoyed their work at Sanheying.

Although they were children of rightists, the villagers in Sanheying did not look at them with tinted glasses.

In the words of the two children, everyone was nice and well-intentioned. Yun Qiao had no idea what the tragedy was that happened three years later.

The tragedy of her family being torn apart in her previous life seemed like a nightmare that existed only in her memory.

Yun Qiao had already made up her mind: when the autumn of 1972 was about to begin, she would repeatedly remind her uncle not to leave home to blast rocks in the mountains. As long as her uncle stayed home, perhaps he would not leave again.

But even so, Yun Qiao still couldn't stop feeling anxious.

Because she was not sure whether this could really help her uncle's family escape the disaster in the autumn of 1972.

Because she didn't know that her enemies were still hiding in the dark, she was afraid that even if they escaped this battle, there would be another one waiting for them?

Yun Qiao didn't know how to help his uncle's family in this situation where the enemy was hidden and he was in the light, so that they could avoid the tragedy.
